Not retired, I am still in the Rink

September 19th 2023

It is 8.15 in the morning. Bright sunny day, looks breezy. Trees around are shaking their heads. I am in my kitchen making scrambled eggs for my eldest grandson. He is about to leave soon for his work. 

I will make peanut butter sandwich and hot chocolate milk for my youngest grandson too, for my Slurpee Boy. He is getting ready for his Uni.

Time flies, I still remember, he was just a kid, in school, loved to get Slurpee, cookies and all such things. Not anymore. Now he is watching his diet, avoids cookies and fries. Still loves Slurpee, takes once a while. 

We have to value our kids. Have to spend time with them. They grow fast, wont be needing us after, anymore. They will be busy with their own things, own activities. No time for parents and we grandparents will not even be in their dictionary.

Try to spread happiness, do things to make their day. It will come back to you. You will make your day in turn. What goes around, comes back.

I do these thing, I mean making milk shakes, sandwiches, burgers for them. I know they will be happy, will enjoy that. I see smile on their faces. That is more than enough for me, enough to make my day. 

I feel lucky, to do things on my own. We have to pitch in for the household, we live in. We have to contribute in whatever way, we can. It boosts our will power, controls our mood swing. We start thinking that we are not retired. We are still in the rink. 

Thank You God for keeping me mobile. Please keep watching over me. Love You from the bottom of my heart. I can never be able to pay You back. Thank You.

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

Nature is great

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

Have a taste of Nature

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
